LMAO... holy shit you guys crack me up...

Mega- LL told it to me like this... You take twins, and separate them. They're genetically the same. You lock one in the closet, and give him enough bread and water to keep him alive... and the other twine, you pump full of juice and feed him a healthy diet his whole life... Now you take the other twin out of the closet, and start feeding him well and pumping him full of juice... but the weaker twin can never catch up to the stronger twin no matter how much juice and food you give him...

So with that, I upped my veg to 2 600w ushio mh conversion lamps. I've had nothing but good results with USHIO lamps.

Anyway, the growth the past couple days has been freakish, and exactly what I've been missing from my program. All the new growth is so BEEFY... The vegetation is much more thick/lush... Some of the plants have some leaf curling, and I don't know what the cause is... possibly a jump in metabolism? maybe residual salts in the coco? anyway, I'm flushing them and everything looks just GREAT!

you crack me up mega lol... how much is a beech front place in santa cruz... detached 3 bed with a big back yard to rent?


Depending on what beach (some are private and gated) probably about $1.5 million and up to $3 million for only a 3 bedroom let's see in lbs that would be; $936,982.00 GBP to $1,873,964.00.

C'mon over we will invite Bobble and DHF a few beach hunnies and have one HELLA party!:party:

Ok so another dumb question...how far away do you hang the twins? (twin 600's Ushio's) from the new starts or young plants?

good to hear bobble,

i remember hearing somewhere to veg with at least half the wattage you flower at so your on the money...

leaf curling, is it humidity?

Excellent grow Bobble and great thread, there is tons on info in here.

I'll be setting up a new space (18' x 9') with 3000W and was thinking of trying a stadium, but the idea of these racks in a Colosseum-type setup has me thinking about changing my mind. Best of luck on getting the new pods up and running, I'm looking forward to checking them out!

you'd be looking at about 1k per bedroom, maybe a little more for the houses on the cliffs and beaches

Hey Schrews, changed your location I see.


FUCKERS KEEP IT UP N' ILL b COMin' TO CALI TO TAKE ALL YOUR CUSTOMERS WITHIN THE YEAR! :muahaha:


Or ill just buy a lot of firearmses, and go balls to the wall on the east coast till you hear bout me on the 6' 0clock news !!!! At least ill die for something worthwhile, the rev0luti0n$ in tunisia started when one kiosk owner lit himself on fire in protest of the gov'ts' abuse of civil liberties.

being the researching fool I am... Blumats have really gotten my attention lately, and I'm going to have the spare change to buy a few eventually... So check this out. Turns out the the blumats might not be so difficult to run on multiple levels...

Now there are 2 types of blumats... The household one is no good without control reservoirs and float valves... but this tropf-blumat is the shit!

hmmm things that make me go "hmmmm"....I am really wanting to run Tropf-Blumats, problem is getting a rez HIGH enough to drip down with only a 7' 2" ceiling height?

Maybe large rez on floor with pump up to smaller 10 gallon "something" with float to turn of pump off in main rez filling the feeder bucket....damn I "just" got this thing dialed in lol..Bobble you ALWaYS start making me think things like "well if I did that we would have less work OR if I did that I could run 15 more plants" lmao

It's only going to cost me $800 to outfit my whole operation with blumats! :D I just gotta have them...


The tropf blumats can be run with a low pressure pump. You could even run the pump 15 mins every hour, and they would only let out water if the plant needed it... so worth the investment...

actually looking around I bet I'll get them cheaper. Tomorrow I'm making some phone calls. Maybe I'll start reselling them cause I'm gonna have to buy cases...

blumats are straight illness. i put one per 3 gal in my 15 plant 1000w stadium. plants have never grown this well.

put a big hook into a 2x8 in the ceiling and hang a 5gal bucket w/ water. if i was doing more than 1000w i would have a float valve installed in the 5 gal with a 20gal roughneck feeding it w a pump. instead i just ph the roughneck's water and refill the 5gal bucket every morning.

my soil(peat based) has everthing a 70 day strain needs. i have to feed my sourD's once liquid ferts right around day 50. so naturally i run straight RO'd water, ph'd tp 5.8. if i wanna use some Hygrozyme, or KoolBloom, i just hand water.

took about 3 days to dial them in. never had an overflow. no more climbing over plants in the stadium to water the 4 in the back. they were my best improvement to my grow since i got rid of the hoods on my lights!!!!

blumats are rocking little tools. I definitely encourage you to jump on the train bobble, just make sure to document the hooking up process :moon:

That should be lots of fun with your stadium and sheer numbers :tiphat:

Still lurking in the background, keep it up bro :dance013:
